An international trade fair for the pet industry, "INTERPET", is thriving with a wide variety of companies displaying their products and services
3. In Consideration of the Dogs' True Happiness (Application of the Model Dog System)
In the spirit of animal welfare, the University does not keep animals for practical training. We believe that dogs should be kept in loving homes. Practical training at the University is carried out with model dogs entrusted to us by individual owners who have registered with the "Model Dog Club". This is a unique system that allows students to learn with greater practicality by coming into contact with a wide variety of breeds, from large dogs to small.
4. 900-hour extensive practical training
Fifteen credits (450 hours) of practical off-campus training and 15 credits (450 hours) of on-campus training are allocated as compulsory ubjects. By applying the knowledge and skills acquired in oncampus practical training and lectures to on-the-job practical training outside the university, students develop extensive practical skills and extensive creativity.
5. On-site practical Field Training sites (veterinary hospitals / pet salons) are set up
By setting up a veterinary hospital and pet salon in the school building as destinations for on-site practical Field Training 1 and Field Training 2, starting in the first year, the school is able to develop practical training content tailored to each student's stage of learning.
